The Renaissance in
Italy has always really fascinated me. I have primarily been interested in it
from a visual perception perspective. I have done research in the past on how
we perceive the space represented in art. The relationship to the Renaissance
and this research is that perspective was first used during this time to more
accurately portray the physical world. Any examination of space represented in
artwork begins with the study of how perspective developed.
It’s also really fascinating
that during this time period the focus on the interior setting of homes and buildings and
furniture becomes more developed. My favorite aspect of interior decoration that is seen throughout this time period is trompe l'oeil. This technique was used, especially on large ceiling paintings, to mimic architecture or other three dimensional qualities of represented scenes.
Influence on Modern Design
When we see the influence of Italian Renaissance design on modern interiors, it often is shown as lavish and high-quality detail in rooms or furniture.
